First Blog!

This is my first blog ever and I am very excited to get the opportunity to create and update one of these for the first time! Last class we talked a lot about how technology affects our social life. In my opinion, technology makes a huge impact on our social lives. Through things like facebook and myspace we can not only keep in touch with old friends, but also keep ourselves updated with what everyone is doing around us. Personally, if i want to find out what everyone is doing on a specefic night, a lot of times i can find it through facebook. I have become a victim of Facebook, in that, I spend a lot of my time on it, when i could be outside or socializing with actual people instead of doing it online. I feel as though many people share my same problem. If people's involvement in this technology age keeps increasing where will we be in ten years? What about twenty? For me, it is scary to think about because i feel as though, technology will have a greater and greater impact on our social lives and we will continue to lose person - to - person contact.
